McCarthy’s Diction by: Kevin Ceckowski


All authors showcase their own style of diction. In the excerpt from Cormac McCarthy’s Child of God the author creates diction which is both special and hard to understand. Cormac’s diction is a little complicated. For example: “ever what it was”; when he writes this it is hard to understand what he is talking about. “These old boys I was with kept at me and kept at me”; when Cormac writes this understanding what he is writeing is complicated. McCarthy describes the main character: “ he just shoot directly he seen the feathers fly. You couldn’t tell it.” This sentence just dose not even make sense.The quotes above are the reason Cormac McCarthy’s diction does not make sense.
